Backup notification

Hello all,

I see in Veeam 10 that the notification email for backup job change and now include the backup job linked.

Exemple :
[Failed] Backup Copy Job 00-HyperV\Backup Job 00-HYPERV (2 machines)

There is a way to remove \Backup Job 00-HYPERV ?

We have scripts which read mail to make globals reports and this make confusion.

Thanks for help

Have a good day

Page 1 / 1

Last I check that granular log around each disk read rates was not available. I have looked in the past about sourcing this info directly from the database or scraping job log files but in the end that information for our use case wasnt overly useful for our customers as they really want to see

Success/fail

Start/end times of the job and each individual VM

Type of restore point (less so)

Yep, this is coming to v11 @vNote42 - brand new API that is decoupled from Enterprise Manager - woohoo!

Hello @Erwan RIGOLLOT ,

the mail subject is defined with

[%JobResult%] - %JobName% (%VmCount% VMs) %Issues%

So I think you have to delete the %JobName% and the JobName will not appaer in the mails.

Hello @JMeixner

Thanks !

But I want the first job name : “Backup Copy Job 00-HyperV” and not “\Backup Job 00-HYPERV”

Maybe not exactly what you want to hear but you could give VeemONE a chance or use the execelent power shell integration.

Another one is this:https://github.com/AsBuiltReport/AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR

Your other option here would be to use to use the API as part of B&R Enterprise Manager. This is what i do to create custom backup job reports on our multi tenant platform so yours would be even easier and you could pull out the information you want specifically/present it your way (even via email, or a dashboard)

Seen below is the dashboard for a test tenant on our portal, pulling data via the API (the slide out panel is when you click the little gear icon on the main table)

@benyoung can you tell me if is possible to get a log of jobs via (Rest)API? Would be great to get the log, visible in GUI:

Hey @vNote42 - Ive been playing with the BETA of V11, new API in there still very much under development but the good news is we can finally get this detail, here is an example from one off my lab jobs returning the session log.

Thank you @benyoung! It this new to v11?

I finally found a way to export the logs using PowerShell as well - @JMeixner provided the missing link. I will post this later on.

Yep, this is coming to v11 @vNote42 - brand new API that is decoupled from Enterprise Manager - woohoo!

Not sure everyone fully understands how many possibilities this will open up!

Ooops, yes… it would be better to read carefully and correctly the whole sentence… :grin:

The variable 5jobname% contains the name of the backup copy job AND the source job…

I don’t see a way to change the variable. My only idea for your problem is to cut the offending part from the string in your script. But I think this is not what you had on your mind...

Success/fail

Start/end times of the job and each individual VM

Type of restore point (less so)

Thanks for checking!

Just posted the PowerShell-way to export this job logs.
